Has anyone used these.

If so can you post some pics. Think it would be something cool and different.

My friend had a set on his LS1, they looked nice, but... the driver side valve cover leaked badly. I would steer clear of them personally.

Well I decided to order them anyways. Will let everyone know how they do.

Also I am doing a Alternator relocation and we are going to run a LS style power steering pump with integrated reservoir. Should be similar to the kit from speed inc, but will not have that extra idler at the top and remote reservoir. Should clean things up a bunch.

You are thinking of QC97Z. Real good guy and he has them. From what he said, they are real nice.

I did think about painting the covers. I have seen real carbon ones on some LS cars and they look supper exotic and sexy.

Will post pics on when I get them.
